Since it's vaguely related to the thread topic -- when is "teatime"? And is it a class distinction, or does almost everyone partake of it?
As a digression, last year I read
A Yank Back to England, in which two phenomena rather startled the writer's American wife:
1) Sliced bread is
never to be presented on the table un-buttered. (Pre-buttered bread gives me childhood flashbacks of tinned spaghetti)
2) A summer visit to the seaside must include
hot tea on the beach as a beverage, pot and all! (as opposed to purchased by the cup from the snack bar). Myself, I am not fond of iced tea, and would prefer iced coffee at the beach.
